The weather in late winter was freezing. Even the river had frozen over.
Brandon's men had poured cold water over Allie, making her body shiver and her teeth chatter.
"I-I... I know nothing... W-why'd you take me here, Mr. Larson? I just sold Mrs. Larson the data on Charis's computer, and that's all!" Allie stuttered anxiously, her eyes wrought with guilt.
Still, she hoped that Brandon would buy it and let her go.
Brandon sneered. "If your goal was just the money, then you would've ran away a long time ago. Yet you stayed. Because selling Janet the information on that laptop was just the first step in your plan. Am I right?"
Allie's eyes went as wide as saucers. The reason why she stayed was to see for herself what would happen to Janet.
The rest of the plan was all up to Vivian. She knew nothing.
But she didn't dare to mention Vivian due to their agreement. Even if she was captured, she couldn't say anything about her. Because Vivian was the only person who could save her from Brandon.
"You gave me the flash drive and my computer was hacked the night I plugged the drive into it," Janet mused.
But something nagged at her. Allie was just an assistant. Was she really capable of planning something so elaborate?
Allie fell silent and didn't say anything more.
"Take her out and get her to talk," Brandon ordered Sean impatiently.
If Janet wasn't present, he would've asked his men to get the job done right in front of him.
